Jury selection is scheduled to begin Sept. 9 at 9 a.m., and Adams' trial in the death of Bobo is set for Sept. 11, to start "as close to 9 as possible," McGinley said.

The trial is expected to last about two weeks, and Thompson told McGinley she expected her defense case to take at least a week to present.

McGinley covered security details expected to be in place prior to jury selection, including X-ray machines and phone policies.

No signs, T-shirts, or any other items supporting either Holly Bobo's family or Adams and his family will be allowed, including stickers on vehicles.

McGinley noted that many cars parked outside the Hardin County Courthouse Wednesday had visible "Justice for Holly" stickers.

"They don't need to be out here in this parking lot," McGinley said. "Either you cover them, or we'll cover them for you."

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Adams, his brother John Dylan Adams, and Jason Autry. All three men are charged with premeditated murder and murder in the perpetration of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated rape.

Bobo was reported missing in April 2011 from her home in Decatur County. Remains identified as Bobo's were found in the woods in Decatur County in September 2014.

Attorneys say a gun was found in May that they believe is a "critical piece of evidence" in the trial.
